Here is where I grew up in Mississippi. The Yazoo Pass has a long history from the civil war to the present. Not much to see or do now but to get on your boat and cruise Moon Lake. At age 16 it was a lot of fun to catch turtles and knock the snakes sunning in the tree over hangs into the water. I have done one painting of a flat bottom boat sitting along side the Pass. I may do another of the scene shown here but without the boat

Tom Herrin at a Glance

**GRAND KIDS**
I'm an artist working in watercolor, acrylic, pastel and oil. I just turned the ripe old age of 77 but think of myself as a much younger person. Each week I attend a figure and life drawing session with a group of artist about my age. I also paint weekly at Amy Imler's studio in North Little Rock developing my ability to paint abstract paintings. I am President of the Mid-Southern Watercolor Society. It is my goal to obtain signature status before too much longer. My wife and I live in a close-in neighborhood of this really great city. My Son Michael lives near here in Mayflower, Arkansas; Richard,in Tennessee; and Will, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Our oldest son Tom passed away two years ago and now resides in Heaven. We miss him very much.
